UW10 Owner’s Manual

English

Music production system using a guitar or microphone via 
analog connections

Analog audio signals input from a guitar or microphone are converted to digital 
for recording.
Patch the analog input from the guitar or microphone to the UW10’s INPUT jacks via 
an effects unit or other equivalent device. In this case, set the UW10’s SOURCE SELECT 
switch to “INPUT,” and connect powered speakers or headphones to the UW10.

Connecting audio devices

Digital or analog input from an audio device can be converted to wave files on a 
computer. You can also edit the wave files on the computer, then record them to 
an audio device.
Patch a digital signal from an MD player to the UW10’s DIGITAL IN jack. Patch an 
analog signal from a casette tape player or turntable to the UW10’s INPUT jacks. 
Set the UW10’s SOURCE SELECT switch to “DIGITAL” or “INPUT” depending on 
the jacks you are using. Connect an AV amplifier and mixer as necessary.

If you cannot adjust the output level of the audio device, some high volume sound sources 
may distort your recordings, or low volume sound sources may create recordings that are 
not inaudible. In this case, adjust the sound source level using the following measures:

Connect the PHONE jack of the audio device to the UW10, then adjust the PHONE 
level on the audio device.

Connect a mixer or other device that enables you to adjust the volume level 
between the audio device and the UW10.

If you try to record from a digital audio device (such as an MD or CD player) that has 
an optical digital output, use an optional optical digital cable (with square plugs) to 
connect the UW10. In this case, you do not have to adjust the level, since the 
recording level will be the same as the sound source level.
